CI#64 Purple Posy challenge


Welcome back for another round of CI.
First up, purple is not my colour- but green certainly is, but guess what, my project ended up being mostly purple!!
The shape and lushness of the posy in the photo made me think I'd try a Christmas Ornament using the Ornament punches, and I'm happy it came together reasonably easily.


you need:
Long ornament 15 punched from DSP, 5 punched from Cardstock
Smaller ornament 15 punched from DSP, 5 punched from Cardstock
2 circles of cardstock 2" for the base of each layer
1 glitter circle 13/4" for front.
ribbon to hang and decorate.

Fold each DSP ornament in half longways, adhere 3 together and then adhere this group a cardstock ornament so you have 4 shapes glued to make one unit.


If you have a 5 point star I would use this as a guide for where to place your ornaments so that they are in an even circle when you adhere them to the base.
Arrange the ornaments and adhere to your base.

Repeat for the next layer.

I used (fought with) my hot glue gun to layer them together. ( which is why you won't see any detailed side shots!)
For a first attempt it's passable but Im sure it's easier the more you do.

You can't really see it but I did spritz the whole thing with Shimmer paint in Alcohol before I assembled them so it is a little bit sparkly.
I love the holly image from the matching stamp set and I may have gone a little off task with some Gorgeous Grape thrown in but it does give it a lift.
Although these coloured bells are not SU I do love a jingle at Christmas


I hope you are game to give this a try.
I'm glad I did.

Be sure and hop around to see what others have made using these colours. Next this week is the beautiful Julia



Don't forget we also love to be inspired by what you create with these colours, so please share a photo of your creation on our Facebook page.

I hope you have a creative week and remember, 
"don't just post online,
 post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz

    This is just so gorgeous Liz. I really need to make one now! Thanks for including the instructions. I too have battles with my hot glue gun so hopefully it will be Lou:1, HGG:0! x

New In colour 2025-2027 cards and the FABULOUS Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.

Don't you love it when a single product creates enough elements to decorate a bunch of cards at one time? The Extraordinary Flora Washi tape is one of those products. I created these for my upcoming Catalogue Launch. I put the Washi onto Basic Beige to cut these flowers and love how it coordinates with the Basic Beige card base. To create these cards I trimmed 2.5cm from the front edge and adhered a 3.5cm strip of DSP to the inside of the card to give an added layer. These were easy to put together. Darling Duckling Secret Sea Strawberry Slush Timid Tiger Cloud Clover June 3 - 30 Stampin Up has an amazing offer where you can get 50% off any second product from a suite. So for example if you were to purchase the Extraordinary Flora Die you would be able to buy the tape at 50% off. Please reach out if you want more information on this great deal. You can see all the available suites in my online store. I am loving all the new colours.  I hope you have a creative week and remember,...

Colour INKspiration#178 Happy Hibiscus

Happy Hibiscus is a new set in my collection and I needed to get it out and play with it, so this colour combination seemed like a good place to start.  Isn't the Inspiration picture amazing? I wish I was a better gardener and could grow these gorgeous treasures. But since that is not my skill I am happy to admire nature. Picture credit - https://leahhopephotography.client-gallery.com/.../print... I used the watercolour 100 paper and created two pieces of colour, one a range of dark and light Calypso Coral, and one a mix of Soft Sea Foam and Old Olive.  Once dry I was able to cut out the leaves and tiny flowers. I stamped the 3 large flowers over the watercolour and cut them out using the Hybrid Embossing Folder - It's so easy and super effective as it embosses and cuts in one pass creating some amazing depth for the blossoms. I love the leaf shapes and definition in these dies, just gorgeous. Lots of white seemed like a good way to let the colours shine, so a simple embosse...
